Roger Eberhard-Standard - Hardcover
In thirty-two cities across five continents, Swiss photographer Roger Eberhard booked a standard double room at the local Hilton and took two photographs: one of the room’s interior—always from the same perspective—and one of the view from the hotel room’s window. The result of this project is Standard, an unusual urban panorama of photographs, reproduced large enough to make it easy to see the diversity within the uniformity of the world’s largest international hotel chain.
In this era of increasing globalization and commercial capitalism, Standard shows that international hotel chains, restaurants, and other establishments maintain a remarkably uniform design—a true “standard”—that has made many places and cities feel almost interchangeable. At the same time, they retain some of their unique characteristics, and Eberhard’s photographs reveal the subtle, yet important, influence of local taste. The book also contains an essay by German novelist Benedict Wells on the monotony he feels while staying in a succession of hotel rooms on book tours, as well as essays by art historian Franziska Solte and curator Nadine Wietlisbach.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Der Schweizer Fotograf Roger Eberhard ist für seine neue konzeptionelle Fotoarbeit auf alle fünf Kontinente gereist. In 32 Städten hat er stets im lokalen Hilton-Hotel das Standarddoppelzimmer gebucht und dort das Interieur mit Doppelbett, Mobiliar und Fenster fotografiert. Zudem hat er die Aussicht auf die jeweilige Stadt aus dem Fenster des Hotelzimmers aufgenommen.So ist Roger Eberhards neues Buch Standard entstanden, das einen vielschichtigen Blick auf unsere globale Welt zeigt. Die Interieurs der grössten Hotelkette der Welt sind rund um den Globus nach dem gleichen Schema eingerichtet und wirken daher erstaunlich gleichförmig; trotzdem beinhalten viele von ihnen auch einen kleinen Verweis auf lokale Geschmacksprägungen. Der Blick auf die Städte offenbart, dass sich die meisten Grossstädte der Welt in vielen Aspekten angenähert haben, aber doch auch jeweilige Eigenarten erhalten bleiben.Roger Eberhards Fotografien werden begleitet von Texten des Schriftstellers Benedict Wells über die Monotonie in anonymen Hotels auf Lesereisen, der Kunsthistorikerin Franziska Solte über das Hotelzimmer als «modern interieur» par excellence sowie von Nadine Wietlisbach, die Roger Eberhards künstlerische Arbeit analysiert und einordnet.
